Great Australian Air Rally 2024
Instructions for Registration
The procedure for registration is given below. For this event we simply ask you to nominate your Cruising Ground Speed for your chosen aircraft. We tried this for the GAMR and it did not cause any problems.
The aircraft that you wish to fly in the GAAR can be any piston engine or turboprop driven aircraft first flown between 1903 and 1999, along with subsequent derivatives. Pilots please remember that the shortest runway for the GAAR is about 3,200 ft in length..
The actual Flight Legs of the GAAR will have a variety of suggested weather variables which are set in the flight sim of your choice. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you choose an economical cruise speed to ensure you will have enough of a performance margin capability in your chosen aircraft to compensate for the weather variables.
When
reporting flights state the total flight time in minutes from
take-off to landing, adding the decimal equivalent for any seconds to
the minutes flown.
Here is a conversion chart. Use this method for all of
the GAAR 2024 flights.
